Common questions

What is rapid prototyping?

Rapid prototyping at Essen Software is turning ideas into clickable wireframes and flows in 48–72 hours—UX prototypes for validation and technical pilots (PoCs) that often become the MVP core.

How fast does Essen deliver a first prototype? +

Initial wireframes and core logic flows are often delivered within 48–72 hours of kickoff. We work in short bursts: hypothesis, skeleton, high-fi, then validation and handoff.

Is prototype code from Essen reusable for the MVP? +

UX prototypes are for validation; technical pilots (PoCs) use modular code that often becomes the MVP core. We can also prototype complex logic and database-mocked states.

What's the first step? +

Share your idea and what you want to validate; we often deliver first wireframes or flows within 48–72 hours of kickoff.

How is the engagement structured? +

We deliver in short bursts (hypothesis, skeleton, high-fi, validation) with a final blueprint and handoff to development.
